Victoria tries the ice cream...Victoria likes the ice cream! Hooray! As she enjoys her vanilla chocolate ripple she unclothedly does her sign off as the sweet stuff drizzles down her right sweater bubble.

Why, any pose should be a snap and a breeze, right? Easy and peasy if you please-ey.

And Clip Studio's digital mannequins will just not bend their arms that way. Go figure.
